Meanwhile, in another part of the sect, Chen Tianwei walked with confident steps toward where the Grand Elders gathered.His white robe fluttered magnificently. His face raised high. His expression harbored arrogance that he didn't hide in the slightest.Of course, that was because Li Xin, his second disciple from the Lower World, had shown very impressive abilities.He wanted to meet those who underestimated and laughed at him, considering him to have made the most foolish decision.Heaven-Piercing Sacred Dragon Sect had nine Grand Elders. They were the strongest cultivators in the sect after Grand Leader Chen Wuji. Each of them was a legend who had lived for hundreds to thousands of years.And most importantly, each of them had reached peak-level Transcendent Realm—a cultivation level as different as heaven and earth compared to ordinary Transcendent Realm. Even ten tenth-level Transcendent Realm cultivators couldn't compare to one peak-level Transcendent Realm cultivator. Only thos

Two hours and thirty minutes later.Almost everyone had already gathered at the Main Arena.Thousands of disciples filled the edge of the arena. Ordinary Elders stood in their special places. And the nine Grand Elders, except Chen Tianwei, sat in magnificent pavilions scattered in various corners of the arena.Kael and Chen Ningshuang were also already there, standing among the crowd of spectators.Kael had finished meditating. The spiritual energy in his dantian flowed smoothly. His condition was very good. He was ready to fight. Chen Ningshuang stood beside him with a calm expression.Then, the sound of footsteps was heard approaching.Chen Tianwei walked toward them with his fluttering white robe. His expression serious but also full of confidence.When he arrived in front of Kael, he looked at his disciple with a gaze full of hope."Li Xin, there's something I need to convey to you."Kael nodded respectfully."Please, Elder Tianwei."Chen Tianwei paused briefly, then continued in

When hearing that announcement, the eight Grand Elders sitting in their magnificent pavilions smiled satisfied.In the eastern pavilion, Chen Mingxia smiled with very great satisfaction.She said in a tone full of victory, "How unlucky you are, Tianwei! Your disciple will be eliminated in the early round!"She couldn't wait to see Chen Tianwei's expression later.In the western pavilion, Elder Dun laughed loudly while slapping his thigh hard.HAHAHAHA!He said with full satisfaction, "Truly unlucky! That bastard from the Lower World immediately faces Chen Yuelin in the first round?! He won't get far! Not even one step!"He imagined how Kael would be naked in the middle of the Main Arena and laughed at by everyone. His face reddened from holding back laughter. It would definitely be very satisfying!In the northern pavilion, Elder Fuzi smiled thinly with his white mustache whose tips curved even higher from satisfaction.He whispered, "Unfortunate fate for Tianwei's disciple. However,

That slash hit his ribs, creating a deep wound."ARGH!"Chen Jianyu screamed, but he didn't give up.With full power, he spun his body and swung his large sword in a circle.WUUUSSHH!Very strong wind was created, even creating a small vortex around him!Chen Yunfei was forced to retreat several steps to avoid that brutal swing.But Chen Jianyu had already lost a lot of blood. His movements became slower.Chen Yunfei didn't waste the opportunity. He launched a final attack—a very precise quick thrust toward his shoulder.SYUUTTT!That thrust hit the shoulder perfectly.The large sword fell from Chen Jianyu's hand.THUD!Chen Jianyu fell to the ground with gasping breath."I... surrender."The referee raised his hand."The winner is Chen Yunfei!"---After Chen Yunfei descended from the arena with a satisfied expression, the Elder on the podium spoke again, "Third match! Chen Linfeng versus Chen Xueyi, enter the arena!"Whispers were heard among the spectators."This is a match between

Total silence occurred.Everyone thought this was already over.Without a sword, how could he fight?He had already lost!Chen Yuelin smiled with very great satisfaction."Finally—"But what happened next shocked everyone.Instead of surrendering, Kael rotated his broken sword.He changed his grip.From a normal grip with the blade facing upward, he rotated the sword so the blade faced downward.The sword handle was above his grip, while the remaining short blade pointed downward from the pinky side. Like holding a knife to stab from above.His body posture changed.From an upright stance with sword in front, to a slightly hunched stance with one hand in front and the broken sword behind.And the aura radiating from his body completely changed.If before he was an honorable sword cultivator...Now he was a deadly assassin.Chen Yuelin felt that change. She was slightly shocked, but she soon smiled again."What are you doing? Trying some unique trick? That won't help you!"She immediat
